I understand the need to help. Help those that can't help themselves. I've been in the Service for 9 years. I have been deployed, fought wars, and ended up wounded. I don't see the reason that the U.S. needs to be the savior of the world. I thought that this was an agreement of all the sovereign nations of the world. If I must, I will point out that we have not been able to do half of the things expected of us. How can we take care of the world, when they hate us? How can we help people that don't want our help? The minute we step foot in their country, we become the bad guys. I don't want to be the bad guy anymore, but seems that no matter what we do, the locals that need our help hate us, and if we don't help... the idiots in the media who push their own agendas, and promote their self righteous propaganda, shun, ridicule, and call for punishment. I vote to take care of ourselves first. Fix our economy, fix our education system, fix our health care system, and provide for our own people, what the world expects us to provide for them. You can’t focus on fixing other peoples problems until you can fix your own. Ok… I understand the need to help. Help those that can’t help themselves. I’ve been in the Service for 9 years.
